We are making a positive call on managed care going into earnings based on continued low utilization. A survey of 103 primary care physicians shows 58% of providers seeing flat or lower volume compared to the first quarter and 54% seeing flat or lower volume compared to second-quarter 2012. Compared to last month, 62% of providers saw flat or lower volumes.
